What is the origin of your screen name?
 

Come tell us your story....
 

How'd ya choose your screen name?
A situation in your life?
Part of a song?
Your Military service?



For me, it was three times I came across "Misbehavin"
that decided it for me!
I bought a blouse that had that on the tag...
Then my MIL gave me a book about a cat called Ms.Behavin..
Then I heard the song "Ain't Misbehavin!"
 

 

        

So there ya have it!
Have fun!
Please, no politics in The Canteen..
We want our troops to rest, relax and relate!

 

         

 

Now tell us YOUR story!!

Can't say I remember that. ~:)

Oh wait, that is the year I was born....

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

My screen name comes from what John Buccigross on ESPN used to say after a really hard body check in the hockey highlights.

[StarCMC]

ROFL!!!

[tomkow6]

....what was the question????

[bannie]

Me too...but I hear tell.

[Cobra64]

I like Carroll Shelby's 1964 AC Cobras. I built a replica (took me a year.)

[Fawnn]

My FReepname has actually been my online name since around 1996 -- and it came about because of the "Summer of the Three Bimbos." Anybody remember them?

Fawn Hall
Donna Rice
Jessica Hahn

The last two last names are a part of my byline. The bad news: Those two ARE the bimbos in that mix. The good news: Editors remembered my name that year!

I really like Ollie North, so when I had to choose a "nick" to use in IRC chat on the Undernet, I chose "Fern" because I wanted to represent the good girl in my name mix. (During a phone call with my daughter, I explained my logic and she said, "Ah mom. Wasn't Ollie North's secretary's first name 'Fawn'?" Duh! Remembering names has never been one of my strengths. So THEN I became "Fawn.")

On IRC chat on the Undernet, you can't reserve a nickname. It didn't take long to discover that there was already a "Fawn" online. AND that Fawn was visiting chat channels where people exchanged (use your imagination here) pictures. I naturally got tired of people messaging me and asking for my picture, so I added an "n." ;)

So now I'm Fawnn! (A coincidence that I didn't realize until later is that my first initial "p" added to my last name "hahn" (phahn) would be pronounced like "Fawnn."

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

After lurking for a while, I decided to sign up. At that time, pictures Hillary Clinton were appearing all over the web wearing purple ponchos. They looked like the purple blankets that the Heaven's Gate suicide cult had over their bodies. Same shade of purple. I thought it would be a good screen name. Was going to save the pics so I didn't have to explain it but a format change here got rid of the links.

[MindBender26]

104s?

Was with Rick Svetkoff last weekend when he flew his Starfighter at an airshow in Melborne, FL.

[Caveman Lawyer]

Ha ha! Thanks! It had been so long since I had seen those skits that I'd even forgotten the "unfrozen" part. Seems unnecessary anyway.

[StarCMC]

COOL!! I like it!!

[squarebarb]

Hope I'm not too late to this thread.

My grandson was telling me at length about all the plots and adventures of Spongebob Squarepants.

I decided to be 'Spongebarb'.

But I mistyped it.
